During the system’s first year, Bethesda has been one of the biggest third-parties supporting Switch – especially in the west. The company was featured heavily as part of the system’s reveal with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. That game came out on Switch last year, along with the unexpected Doom. Wolfenstein II will also hit the platform in 2018.
Bethesda’s Pete Hines spoke at length about supporting Switch in a recent interview with Gamereactor. When asked about the challenges of bringing games to the console, Hines said in response:
Miitomo has been updated with more content. Users will find returning stages with more items.
“Welcome to Japan! Japanese Traditions” is the returning theme. The stages provide the following:
We’re not exactly sure what sort of game Smash Bros. will be on Switch. After all, Nintendo didn’t have too much to say after it was announced during the Nintendo Direct in March. Of course, the real blowout will be at E3 in June.
There is at least one thing we know about the new Smash Bros. title – there will be new characters. Inklings are joining the fray, first of all. Link was also depicted with his look from Breath of the Wild. What could that mean?
And so it’s time for a Let’s Talk discussion many of you probably could have seen coming. With a new Smash Bros. game on the horizon, we want do know: which character do you want to see in the game? It could be someone realistic, or even a character unlikely to be added to the roster. Let us know in the comments below.
The boxart for Inazuma Eleven Ares first leaked out of a Japanese magazine earlier this month. During its Inazuma Walker broadcast, Level-5 showed off the packaging shot officially. We have it attached above.
Fire Emblem Heroes kicked off its first Tempest Trials+ event today. Have a look at some footage in the video below.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole launches for Switch on Tuesday, but Ubisoft hasn’t actually posted any gameplay videos of it running on the system. We at least have some lengthy gameplay now thanks to Xiphos Gaming. Check out 27 minutes of footage below.
Thanks to TDude73 for the tip.
The free-to-play FPS Paladins was first hinted at for Switch last November. Following an update for the game, new engine config files pointed to a possible release on the platform.
More concrete evidence has now emerged regarding a potential Switch version. After the latest test server was datamined, an “Oasis” codename was discovered, which other languages actually refer to as a Nintendo account.
A trio of Mario Tennis characters have accidentally leaked. Japanese retailer Geo Online is taking pre-orders for the game, and is offering fans a special bonus. Buyers will be receiving a special handbag, and it’s that bag which outs the new characters.
Every now and then, the odd Switch game pops up. Hunting Simulator is the latest example of that, with Amazon listing it for a tentative June 26 release.
Hunting Simulator lets you track 37 species with their own realistic animal behavior. You’ll find big and small game, predators, waterfowl, and more. The game has a total of 12 regions based on real hunting areas in Europe and North America, 17 firearms, and roughly 50 accessories. Other features include dynamic weather and time of day cycles, a shooting range, a free hunt mode, and the ability to play with up to three friends.
We have a few screenshots from Hunting Simulator below. The official boxart is attached above.
Suicide Guy was originally planned for Switch this month. Chubby Pixel will be missing that target, but not by much.
A tweet sent out by the developer confirms that Suicide Guy will be available on the Switch eShop starting May 10. The news was also accompanied by a brief bit of handheld footage – see below.
